St John Chrysostom died in exile after a long forced march. One wonders how much of this earthly Purgatory he could have avoided if he had been a bit milder.

Poche here crosses a line even Sigismund never dared to. Sigismund merely identified St. John as an "Anti-semite."

While judging a Church Father and Greatest of the Eastern Doctors according to the standards of the ADL is no small outrage, Poche dares to go so far as to attribute St. John's holy suffering for Christ's sake to his righteously indignant polemics against the Synagogue of Satan. POCHE STATES THAT GOD PUNISHED ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM WITH EARTHLY SUFFERING FOR THE "SIN' OF "ANTI-SEMITISM."

I do not exaggerate when I say this is the worst example of blasphemy I have ever seen on Cathinfo.

One mortal sin committed by the soul of a traditional Catholic, a chosen soul who should know who Jesus is an should love Jesus above all else, causes more pain to Jesus than the outrages of the infidels who don't know Him.

Well, I've seen worse ... but mostly from poche.

Technically not blasphemy, since it's about a saint. AND ... it's well known that many saints did have faults during their life on earth. St. Jerome struggled with anger and intemperance.

What's completely out of line, however, is to suggest that St. John Chrysostom's earthly sufferings were basically imposed by God in expiation for some imagined fault.

And the biggest problem with poche is attributing sin/fault to what is nothing more than righteous indignation on the part of St. John ... which can not only be without fault but can even be a virtue, depending on the circumstances dictated by prudence. Our Lord often chastised the Pharisees, and He even whipped the money-changers out of the Temple. So next poche will imagine that part of Our Lord's sufferings were due to His "intemperance".

I deleted the offending post. It still lives on since it was quoted at least 3 times...

Poche has been a harmless Novus Ordo dupe on CathInfo for a long time. I see no reason to change my "poche policy" at this time.

You can't make a case that he is subtle, clever, or convincing -- and therefore dangerous, like a Jewish infiltrator would be. I am well aware of how agents work on message boards to control the narrative, etc. This has been posted on CathInfo many times: https://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/how-to-infiltrate-a-forum/

I don't believe Poche is an agent. He is too obvious. No one is confused, influenced, or led astray by his Novus Ordo nonsense. Anyone who agrees with Poche has always agreed with Poche, and certainly wasn't convinced by him to any degree.

I have a special ability to read things in a sandbox and detect minute pulls on emotion, what ideas are introduced into my head, what impressions/feelings I get about the subject of the article, etc. Then I analyze those reactions from above, objectively, to make an assessment and detect any biases or agendas in the article. I am very objective but also sensitive to any subtle propaganda.

I read an article both rationally, analytically but also trying to draw out the big picture, the "essence" which often can't be put into words. This is something normally associated with artists, who use their right brain.

Poche is what you call a TOKEN member. He is our token pet Novus Ordo dupe. A constant reminder of what is wrong in the Novus Ordo. That is actually helpful for us.

As long as there is no danger of contagion. But as I said above, there is no danger in this case.

1. BTNYC goes overboard by calling it "blasphemy of the Holy Ghost" -- with that logic, ANY kind of blasphemy is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, since the Holy Ghost is the source of ALL sanctity.

2. Yes it's blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Saints. There is also blasphemy against the Blessed Virgin Mary. All 3 types of blasphemy occur; though the modern world has a clear favorite, uttered in almost every modern movie.

3. Note the Divine Praises (the #1 prayer of reparation for blasphemy) praises God's Holy Name, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, then specifically praises Mary Virgin and Mother (because so many blasphemies against her, and her perpetual virginity) and at the end, "Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints." because people used to blaspheme against the saints.

So here we have a case of blasphemy against a Saint. Not against the Holy Ghost, but against a Saint. Still bad.

Thank you for your responses, Matthew; and for making your position on the matter clear.

For my part, I find Poche's continued presence here intolerable, so I'll be resuming my retirement from the forum. If the matter comes up in any future "Whatever Happened To..." threads, you may refer the inquiring party to this post.

You are sad in seeing how God is insulted in Paris, but those poor people do not know what they are doing, in spite of all their blasphemies. Jesus is much more outraged by the sins of those consecrated to Him than by the more violent crimes of those who are not His friends. How many souls whom Jesus has called to perfection remain always worthless because they have not corresponded to Divine Grace.

Those of us who go to the TLM are specially chosen by God. One mortal sin committed by one of us is more offensive to God than something else that would appear to be much worse committed by the Jews, atheists, or Islamic extremists. Jesus Himself said, "Woe to you Choraizin and Capharnaum, if the miracles worked in you had been done in Sodom and Gommorah they would have repented long ago."

God bless, friends.

You're a good poster. If that's the case, then you let him run you out of here. He wins. That's what he wants.You should reconsider.

CathInfo is the de-facto discussion headquarters for the SSPX Resistance, which it officially supports.
Traditional Catholics worldwide have made us the #1 forum for SSPX Resistance news and discussion in the English-speaking world.

Please pray for Bishop Richard Williamson, a noble prelate and hand-picked successor of Archbishop Lefebvre whose Catholic wisdom and zeal for the truth have inspired many Traditional Catholics.
On October 23, 2012, the good Bishop was cast out of the SSPX, where he had labored tirelessly for 36 years.
His continued membership in the neo-SSPX would have made a premature union with Rome more difficult.
He is committed to defending Catholic Tradition in all its purity in the SSPX Resistance, as the true successor of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, continuing the fight the SSPX once fought."I have loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore I die in exile." - Pope Gregory VII
